    I've thought about it, but if I did, it'd be air with a shock or slow down to control the decent.

    Hard to believe no one is doing it anymore. There was a sweet one that I saw at a show in California two years ago but the guy sold it to another guy in Arizona. I've been looking for write ups but there as hard to find as Stout replacement parts.

    This. Specially if the truck is already equipped with air suspension.

    Alot of upsides to a dump/tilt bed(no pun intended)

    Some people are still doing it...they build or buy custom Z racks and gut the bed to make it lighter.

    Dump beds on mini trucks are dumb. Dancing beds on mini trucks are dumber. That giant "under construction check back later" is annoying.

    The photo above is a friends 86 or 89 Nissan Hard body that we made a tilt bed of, used a single convoluted bag.
    He lost the truck to impound after it was towed for parking violations,we had put a lot of work into that truck just to never see it finished!! Way too bad!!!

    I guess I fail to understand how a chevy fanboy has anything to do with it. I'm a yotard, always have been. Meh, whatever. :lol:
